She may call herself an “ordinary alcoholic” – but there is nothing ordinary about global bestselling novelist Marian Keyes, whose contemporary tales of relationships, family and the ups and downs of life have earned her millions of fans.
In January, she celebrated 30 years of sobriety, feeling “pride, pleasure and delight”, posting a heartfelt Instagram message to those who are struggling with alcohol issues. Today, she openly admits that she still goes to support meetings regularly.
